Ikea plastic bag holder hacks and ideas

ikea plastic bag holder…

Yep. A $2 Ikea plastic bag holder. Who’d have guessed there’d be so many fantastic ideas that could come from such an inexpensive item? And we like when “inexpensive” and “Ikea” can be found in the same sentence. Because usually, Ikea is a pretty expensive place for a lot of us. NOT because their items individually are too dear. In fact, exactly the opposite, right?

We find SO MANY great deals in that Ikea marketplace that weren’t on our shopping list when we entered the store.

We have allergies here that prevent us from having a cat or a dog, so instead my kiddos have guinea babies. And these pets are VERY beloved here. My daughter creates new little toys and little inventions for them all the time. Some of which have involved this popular Ikea item. The guinea pigs love to “hide” in things. So this Ikea plastic bag holder is great as a tunnel, or a little ramp either in their cage, or outside during their “exercise” time.

Of course Ikea has it’s own genius “hacks” for this plastic bag holder. I’ve included a couple in this round up. They show herbs and bulbs in this photo. I think it could also work really well for succulents.
